Revolutionize education: Neuweg discusses practical relevance at the AMS Gmunden!
In the AMS Gmunden, an exciting event was held today under the title "Education meets Practice". Around 40 guests from regional companies and networking partners accepted the invitation and listened to the explanations of Univ.-Prof. Georg Hans Neuweg.

specialist shortage and educational policy
The topics mentioned by Neuweg are in the context of an increasingly critical discussion about the shortage of skilled workers in Austria. According to bpb Telecommunications technology increases. In contrast, we see a long-term decline in demand in craft and technical professions.
The departure of the vintage with great birth also leads to a noticeable decline in qualified people in many professions. Although immigration is discussed as a solution to these bottlenecks, the number of young people is growing steadily without a professional qualification. In 2022, this number was 2.9 million, the highest value in 25 years. This also affects people with a migration background: here the proportion without a professional qualification was 38.1%, while it was only 12.7% in locals.
perspectives for the future
The event in the AMS Gmunden conveyed valuable knowledge about the close connection between educational content and the real world of work, which is considered crucial for professional success. In order to get closer to this goal, an inclusive education policy is required. In particular, professional orientation and early language support must be promoted more intensively in order to improve the opportunities for all young people, especially foreign origin.
In addition to a lax immigration policy, structural adjustments in education are necessary. The BMBF already offers numerous initiatives to increase the attractiveness of vocational training and dual training. The excellence initiative vocational training and future projects such as the innovation competition "Innovet Plus" are just a few examples. Extensive financial support is provided here to promote innovative educational concepts.
In summary, the issues discussed show in Gmunden: The close interlinking of education and practice is not just a keyword, but a core claim to cope with the future challenges on the labor market. In addition to the practical implementation, advanced and inclusive educational approaches must continue to be pursued in order to effectively counteract the shortage of skilled workers in Austria.| Details | |
